Protecting Young Trees from Rabbit

Protecting Young Trees from Rabbits
Not the least of the enemies of our
young orchard trees is the rabbit, and we
fear he will be such as long as our Usage
Orange hedges remain. The rabbit will
not injure the trees in summer, when he
has an abundance of succulent food; but
in winter the tender bark is TO him a
dainty that he will partake of if it is not
made distasteful to him or he is not
frightened away. To frighten him from
the trees is not easy. We have tried
effectualy the plan of tying white cloths
that the rabbit soon ceased to fear them.
Making the snow into solid mound
around the tree will keep away mice but
would. The rabbits will mount the
mound and nibble away. Besides, we
don't have snow half the time during the
winter. The best way is to make the
bark distasteful to the rabbit He likes
neither blood, nor grease, nor the odor of
flesh. Hence, when you butcher, take the
waste parts of the animals, and with these
parts rub the trunks as far up as the rab-
bits can reach. The rabbits never nibble
a tree so treated, while the grease or
blood remains.
If the rabbits "bark" tree, cover the
exposed surface with grating wax as soon
as discovered, or spread cow dung on a
cloth and bind it over the wound. The
latter excludes the air and moisture as
we'll, we think, as the former, but is not
80 good, because when it becomes dry it
and the cloth are apt to attract and har-
Dor insects or larvae. If considerable bark
has been removed, the tree will die unless
the wound is covered; and it is certainly
worth while TO save the tree. If the tree
is well msnured, making it more vigorous,
the chances for its coming out all right
are bettered. But, of course, prevention
is better than cure.--American Agri-
cuLturist.

AGRICULTURAL.
Horses Diseased from lniudicious Feeding.

Bulletin No. 10, of the Michigan Agrl
cultural College, treats of disease that
is liable to affect horses that are kept too
high with too little exercise. These cases
are those in which the animal is "killed
by Kindness" something which, might
perhaps occur where animals are much
thought of.
When the disease begins to shew itself
it will be in case of horse in good condi-
tion and well fed being allowed to stand
in its stall days at a time. When
brought out it may appear in the best OF
spirits, but after being on the road little
while will begin to show signs of distress
and of extreme prostration. 1t may occur
at any season of the year, but is usually
more prevalent in the spring.
The symptoms are usually well marked;
as rule horse after being driven and
allowed to stand will .remble sometimes
violently. The eyes will present very
anxious look; perspiration will run down
the face and sometimes the whole body
will be bedewed with sweat AT this
stage the animal will paw with it's fore
feet and soon lies down or will crouch be-
hind and appear as if injured across the
back, having difficulty in using it's hind
legs In walking; when 1t lies down 10
many instances it is unable to rise. At
this stage the urine is, if voided or drawn
away, OF a brownish red color; the breath
ing becomes hurried, the nostrils dilated
and red; the hindquarters will have
hard, board-like feeling.
The treatment recommended in such
cases is to give an active purgative con-
sisting of quart of linseed oil; the az
fected parts should be covered with cloths
wrung out of hot water, and the whole
covered with oil cloth or close fabric to
keep the heat in. An enema may be
given every hour or two until the bowels
begin to act After twelve hours the hot
cloths may be removed, but the body
should be clothed according to the sea
son. The urine should be drawn several
times day. After day or two the horse
should be got upon his feet and exercised
a little to stimulate the blood vessels of
the leg. The disease should be treated
by veterinary surgeon.

EGGS FOR WINTER UsE.-It is fool
sh plan to be seeking the best methods
for putting down eggs for the winter use.
This used to be one of the first tests OF
thrifty housekeeping. But it is better
and just as easy to have hens lay all the
year around. If hens have a warm house
aud enough to eat, and of the right kind,
they will lay in winter as we'll as in sum,
mer. Farmers always expect to feed
some grain to the fowls; then, if they
would save all the waste meat and scraps
that accumulate from the table, and feed
it to the hens in winter, they would be
repaid in fresh eggs. II is also good
plan to hatch out some early and some
late chickens, as in that way the late ones
will be laying when the older ones want
to set.

The Fate of Worlds.

The earth, says Flamarion, was born;
it will die It will die when its vital
elements have been spent, or perhaps
by the extinction of the sun, in whose
rays it's existence is suspended. 1t may
die by the shock of celestial body
which it might meet in its path. but
this end of the world is the most inn
probable Of all. 1t may die, we say,
by the slow absorption of its elements.
In truth, it is probable that the water
and the air are diminishing. The
ocean, like the atmosphere, appears to
have been much more considerable
than at present. The crust Of the earth
is penetrated by the waters, which
combine chemically with the rocks. 1t
is almost certain that the interior tenn
perature of the globe at ten kilometres
(about six miles) of depth reaches the
boiling point and impedes q further
descent of the waters; but the alb
sorption will continue with the cooling
of the globe. The oxygen, nitrogen
and carbonic acid, which compose GU,
atmosphere, appear to suffer likewise
